History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 101 Wang Zhen
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I still remember how majestic and domineering Cao Cao was when he held the emperor hostage to the princes! Look at Jia Sidao again, why is he so hot-tempered?

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Yes, yes, they are both prime ministers, so why is there such a big gap?
Lian Lian: What kind of level is Jia Sidao? How can he be compared with Cao Cao?

Don't allow the world to grow old: Prime Minister Cao is a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times. What level does Jia Sidao have, dare he compare with Cao Cao?
care: In other words, how could Jia Sidao, a piece of trash, be compared with Cao Cao? No matter what happens, Cao Cao will never compare with Jia Sidao!
Wan Ning can't sleep: That's right, Jia Sidao, this trash, should not touch other people. Although Cao Cao has a bad reputation, he really has many fans!
Fuling: There is no way. Even though Cao Cao is dead, Cao Cao's thieves will live on forever!

Wu Buyi: Yes, Prime Minister Cao’s spirit will never pass away!
Nian Nian: You remind me of the saying Cao thief, evil thief, traitor, traitor!

Yun Xi: Hahahaha, I really laughed to death at that time. Our geography teacher was still playing it when he was talking about the cold front.

Lianlian: Your teachers are so good, but our teachers just talk and don’t have videos.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: +1! I envy you!
Su Yue clicked on the next PPT and said: "Okay, now let's take a look at the next traitor! This person is one of the culprits in the Battle of Tumu Fort! I've talked about it till now. You should know who he is. Alright?"

My charming, short-lived ancestor: I got it! Wang Zhen! Rubbish!

I send my longing to Mingyue: Ahhhhh, why doesn’t Wang Zhen, this trash, really die? Well, Daming, let him and that rubbish Zhu Qizhen Huohuo!
Wan Ning can't sleep: That is, if Zhu Di can be hacked to death these two things! There may be many absurd people among the descendants of Emperor Yongle, but the only one who is so rubbish is Zhu Qizhen!

Lianlian: If we were to rank the list of prodigal sons, Zhu Qizhen would definitely be at the top!

Yun Xi: I agree with this! Zhu Qizhen is definitely one of the best prodigal sons!
Su Yue clicked on the next PPT and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at Wang Zhen's personal information!"

Wang Zhen (? - 1449) was born in Yuzhou (now Yuxian County, Hebei Province).

A eunuch in the early Ming Dynasty.

Together with Wang Zhi during the Xianzong period of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin during the Wuzong period of the Ming Dynasty, and Wei Zhongxian during the Xizong period of the Ming Dynasty, they are also known as the "Four Great Eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty".

Wang Zhen was originally a failed scholar with a brief knowledge of the classics. He later became an instructor and passed the imperial examination. It is said that he castrated himself and entered the palace.

He was observant and loved by Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. He was awarded the title of Lang of the East Palace Bureau, served the prince Zhu Qizhen, and was called Wang Banban.

In the tenth year of Xuande's reign (1435), Yingzong ascended the throne and promoted Wang Zhen to the post of chief ceremonial officer and eunuch in charge of seals.

He advised the Yingzong to govern the country with strict laws in order to prevent ministers from being disrespectful. However, because the Yingzong's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Zhang, and her cabinet minister "San Yang" worked together to assist the government, they could not interfere in political affairs.

In the seventh year of Zhengtong (1442), Empress Dowager Zhang died, and the "Three Yangs" also died of old age one after another. Wang Zhen then colluded with internal and external officials and was good at imposing authority.

He built a luxurious mansion in the east of the capital, carried out extensive construction projects, and held exclusive power for eight years. He was called "Sir" by Ying Zong.

The ministers and ministers called him father-in-law, and they all tried to cling to him.

In the 1449th year of Zhengtong (), Oara invaded on a large scale, and Wang Zhen urged the Yingzong to conquer it personally.

On the way, he invited Yingzong to visit his residence in Yuzhou, which delayed his trip. When he arrived at Tumubao, he was chased by Ola soldiers. The entire army was wiped out, Yingzong was captured, and Wang Zhen was killed.

Zhu Qiyu ordered that all Wang Zhen's family be executed and their property confiscated.

In the first year of Tianshun (1457), after the restoration of Yingzong, an edict was issued to rectify Wang Zhen's name, and to use fragrant wood as a statue of Wang Zhen to bury him and summon his soul. The Jingzhong Temple was built in the north courtyard of Zhihua Temple in the capital to worship the souls of the dead.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: It means that Zhu Zhanji’s eyes are not very good, the queen he chose is a demon queen, the prince he chose is a prodigal, and the eunuch he chose is not a good thing. Zhu Zhanji might not have been so good if Zhu Di hadn't left him with a rich team.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: It is possible that the people Zhu Zhanji used were all left to him by Zhu Di. Fortunately, they lived a long time, otherwise Zhu Zhanji might have made a joke.

Not allowed to grow old in the world: I remember that the first eunuch monopoly in the Ming Dynasty was caused by Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen also pushed back the plaque left by Zhu Yuanzhang that eunuchs were not allowed to participate in politics.

Lian Lian: Eunuchs in the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties were the most powerful in political affairs, but the eunuchs in the Han and Ming dynasties were not as good as those in the Tang dynasty.

Yun Xi: I will always remember the saying that eunuchs and relatives take power alternately! Donghan Kindergarten is really ridiculous and sad.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Yes, the most powerful person in the Eastern Han Dynasty was Liu Xiu, let alone the others.

I send my thoughts to Mingyue: Yes, other people who don’t love history don’t know much about it, but Liu Xiu is someone who can appear in history books!
Siyu: This is true. I don’t know about the other Eastern Han emperors except Liu Xiu!

Yan Xue: +1! It may be a joke to say it, but I really only know Liu Xiu. I know the other people are great, but I don’t know them, not even their names.

Siyu: Sisters! me too! But I just like watching live broadcasts, and I can’t explain why.

Yan Xue: Maybe this is the charm of knowledge.

Su Yue clicked on the next PPT and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at Wang Zhen's anecdotes!"

According to Feng Menglong's "Zhitan Complete Works": In the Gongde Temple in Beijing, an extremely majestic and gorgeous Buddha statue is enshrined in the back hall.

The monk said that during the Zhengtong period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Zhang often visited Xinggongde Temple.

Once he stayed in the temple for three nights before returning to the palace.

Yingzong was still young at that time and often visited the temple with the Queen Mother. All the accommodation supplies in the palace in the temple were available.

Wang Zhen believed that the concubine's frequent visits to Buddhist temples were inconsistent with court etiquette, so he secretly ordered someone to build a Buddha statue.

After the Buddha statue was completed, Wang Zhen asked Yingzong to present it to the Queen Mother, saying: "The Queen Mother is so virtuous that her sons and ministers cannot repay her. So I specially ordered someone to build a Buddha statue and ask the Queen Mother to place the Buddha statue in the harem to repay the Queen Mother for her deep kindness."

The Queen Mother was very happy after hearing this, and immediately agreed, and ordered the scholar to copy the scriptures in gold characters and place them in the east and west wings.

From then on, the Queen Mother no longer visited Xing Gong De Temple because the wing room contained Buddhist scriptures and was not suitable for accommodation.

I send my love and the bright moon:? ? ? Why should Wang Zhen care about Queen Zhang? I don't understand!
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed! And doesn’t Queen Zhang dislike Wang Zhen?
goin: I don’t know, maybe it’s because Queen Zhang doesn’t like to go out to worship Buddha.

Don't let the world grow old: And why did Wang Zhen call Queen Zhang Queen Mother? He is not Queen Zhang’s son!
I don't want to go home at the end of the day: I don't know. If he calls Queen Zhang, does that mean he and Zhu Zhanji are the same generation?
Wudu refused: I don’t know, and I was shocked.
